920a5d436b Documentation/githooks: post-rewrite-copy-notes never existed
The documentation for the post-rewrite hook contains a paragraph from
its early development, where the automatic notes copying facilities
were not part of the series and thus this had to be a hook.  Later
versions of the series implemented notes copying as a core feature.

Thus mentioning post-rewrite-copy-notes was never correct.  As the
other hooks do not have a "there is no default hook, but..." sentence
unless they ship a sample hook in either templates or contrib, we
simply remove the whole paragraph.

fc7642a096 Documentation/git-archive: spell --worktree-attributes correctly
The --worktree-attributes option was correctly documented in ba053ea
(archive: do not read .gitattributes in working directory,
2009-04-18).  However, later in 9b4c8b0 (archive documentation:
attributes are taken from the tree by default, 2010-02-10) the
misspelling "--work-tree-attributes" was used to refer to it.  Fix
this.

6b3020a241 add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for add.ignore-errors
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.

What convention?  Glad you asked.

	The section name indicates the affected subsystem.

	The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
	an unbound set of things to set the value for.

	The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
	this knob.

	The section and variable names can be broken into
	words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
	the reader.  These word breaks are not significant
	at the level of code, since the section and variable
	names are not case sensitive.

The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like

	[add]
		ignoreErrors

does not have any effect.  Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.

9904fadfea config.txt: fix placement of diff.noprefix
In git-config(1), diff.noprefix was placed in between
diff.mnemonicprefix and the list of mnemonic prefixes, which is
obviously incorrect and very confusing to readers.  Now, it is located
after the end of the explanation of mnemonicprefix, which makes much
more sense.

ed36854651 fetch: allow command line --tags to override config
Originally, if remote.<name>.tagopt was set, the --tags and option would
have no effect when given to git fetch. So if
tagopt="--no-tags"

	git fetch --tags

would not actually fetch tags.

This patch changes this behavior to only follow what is written in the
config if there is no option passed by the command line.

3f8fc184c0 Documentation: flesh out “git pull” description
The current description in the pull man page does not say much more
than that “git pull” is fetch + merge.  Though that is all a person
needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about
what those commands do for new readers.

Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs.

Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge),
we can tone down the warning against that a bit.

Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people
might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that
it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that
their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet.  Or worse, verify that
their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but
then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5
is only in 1.7.0!).  So keep the warning.

With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

ac2e1e632e Documentation/rev-parse: quoting is required with --parseopt
When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented
example

  eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)"

the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary
whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed
into a single space.

This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since
47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval
consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling
arguments containing e.g. newlines.

Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the
example that did not have the quotes.

5bc0e247c4 Document ls-files -t as semi-obsolete.
The behavior of "git ls-files -t" is very misleading (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/126516 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/144394/focus=144397
for examples of mislead users) and badly documented, hence we point the
users to superior alternatives.

The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal"
since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite
already uses it to test the state of the index.
